Setting Up Equipment

When the Projector
Rental or Laptop Rental
arrives hooking them up for a presentation can sometimes
be tricky. Rentech Solutions is here to assist you.
It is best to hook a Laptop to a Projector when the
units are both turned off. Once they are hooked together
and ready to go it is best to power up the Projector
first and let it warm up for about a minute. Then turn
on the Laptop. Projectors are generally programmed to
recognize a video signal coming into the unit and will
automatically switch the input over for use. If this
does not work, most Projectors have an input button
on the top of the unit. Try switching through the inputs
to see if you can find the video signal. If that still
does not work then on the Laptop locate your function
button ( fn located on the left side of the keyboard
) and hold this button down while pressing the F key
above the numbers.

The proper F key usually will show a picture of a monitor
or it will say lcd, mon or crt in the same color lettering
that the function key is in. This information will depend
on your Laptop not all Laptops are the same. Keep pressing
the proper F key until your Laptop image is both projecting
from the Projector and still on the Laptop screen. Please
note sometimes you may have to press the F key several
times to get the desired result and remember to hold
down the function key while doing this. You will need
to hook up the 15-pin vga cable for video and the usb
cable to both units to use the Projector remote for
a wireless mouse or remote to advance the presentation.
